Lecture 53: Sets - Part 1
Sets
Stores unordered collection of unique items
Unordered means, there is no indexing in sets as well (like dictionaries)
1 item can be stored only once. No repetition. Hence ever item is unique
Syntax: {} -> just input the item. No key value pairs
# {key: value} - Dictionary /

We CAN add tuple inside a set
